Spring is tardy. Keep cool. It will
be here after while.
We learn from Rev Mr.. Coston that
his wife and the little one are doing
nicely.
Our enterprising friend Marshall, the
restaurateur, is doing rushing business
at his new stand.
Young Mr.. DeVoe, of SOB, 1st avenue

The young man, Grant Paris, whose
fearful fall was mentioned last week, is
doing very well, and strong hopes are
entertained of his recovery.
Mr.. William A. Hazel who went East
a few days ago to purchase stock for the
firm Of Forman, Ford & Co., stained
glass works, has returned to the city.
Dropping in at Lis old stand those
princes Of good fellows, Perkins and
Gillispie set out meal which would
have made the mouth of Anchorite
water.
Mr.. Simpson Mitchell rejoices in a
new boy at his house. That accounts for
the numerous smiles which have
wreathed that gentleman's face for
several weeks.
Mr.. George Barnett returned from
Cincinnati Saturday morning. The
Cleveland Gazette contains an extended
account of the ceremonies attending the
burial of his respected father.
Owing to the rapid influx of strangers
it is becoming quite difficult to rent
rooms. some of our friends are talking
of tenting on the Sylvan Green. We
suppose they mean on the Shady side of
a snow bank.
/ The Good Templa,s and the Steward

9Th, for their joint benefit. They are
preparing an excellent programme and
the sociable will be anoveltY in that line.
Messrs. Foley and Berry will render
duets. The white lodge is expected in

We clip the following from the April
tAsmber of the A. M. E. Review: " It is
then Tor tho sNegra-American to OBJ
whining. If he has grievances let him
either overcome them or have sufficient
integrity to endure them. Only by
doing either of these can he hope to
command respect. The day of the sup
plant is past. That of the man is at
hand. Let the Negro recognize it and
govern himself accordingly" Right,
DR.. Tanner. Ithas been whine, whine,
whine, until every self respecting color
ed man would rather suffer in silence
than be always begging for redress.
But there is difference between a
manly dignifed stand for what is Justly
due us, and a cringing cry for help. The
former is always right. The latter
lowers our manhood.

FLESH SLOuGHING OFF IN PIECES.

For two years / have been confined to
bed with loathsome form Of Blood
Poison, which had about eaten me up,
and and others had no hope Of a re-
Fcovery. For while I could neither
walk, sit down, nor lie down, only in
misery as my flesh seemed to be falling
OF my bones in pieces as big as a hen
egg. My appetite was lost, my bones
ached and panied me, and friends even
stunned me. used various blood puri-
hers without benefit, and several physi-
clans treated me until large sums of
money had been expended, but not one
particle of good did any one give me.
On the 9th of February, 1886, Mr.. +.
r. Jackson called to see if I was not
dead, as it was throught could not en-
dure my suffering much longer. He
concluded to try b. b. b. on me and got
bottle from Mr.. rockington, at Beau
fort, s.. g., and before one bottle had
been used commenced gaining strength,
myappetite improved, sores commenced
healing and when two bottles had been
used was on my feet and walking
around to the astonishment of every
body.
